[opensuse] Advanced postfix question: IP and reverse DNS
by Johannes Nohl 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Dear list, maybe someone here's a postfix guru. I have a problem which I don't know if it's solvable at all. I have a machine running as mail server for several domains. Each domain has its own IP. For each IP I can set up a reverse DNS entry. How can I configure postfix to send e-mail using different IPs depending on sender domain? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

re:[opensuse] Problem getting printing to work in OpenOffice
by Michel Rasquin 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

I had the same kind of problem with oo and OpenSuSE 10.2. The reason in my case is that oo is not initially configured to print through a NFS network. If your document to print is stored on a disk mounted with NFS, then edit the file /usr/bin/soffice and uncomment the two first lines: #SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING Hope it can help...

[opensuse] Problem with zypper

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a problem with zypper. It doesn't refresh local repositories here. rpm -qa |grep zypper zypper-0.8.25-0.1 rpm -qa |grep createrepo createrepo-0.4.10-14 - - adding webpin-0.8-1.guru.suse103.i586.rpm to /srv/diverse - - evoking creterepo /srv/diverse - - evoking as root zypper ref: getting: zypper ref ...

[opensuse] Installation Problems
by william oakes 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi folks, I am running open suse 10.2 on three of my computers. I have downloaded the 10.3 iso several times and the md5 hashes always check. However, when I go to verify the DVD (many tried) after burning with either nero or k3b, the md5 hash does not match and at least k3b says the DVD is broke. Trying to install anyway, i get a message saying the repos are missing on the DVD and it aborts the installation. It should be noted that i was able to install it on one of my computers, but the same DVD failed on the other two. I have also tried different DVD writers to no avail. I have no idea what is going on. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA. Regards, Bill... -- William Oakes, CFCE Owner/Consultant DATA SLEUTHS(c) "Finders of hidden data..."

[opensuse] Gnome resolution
by Carl Spitzer 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

I am using a smaller backup monitor due to the other being fried. I can not change to a lower resolution using the gnome control center control center does not seem to have another choice for selection. at 1280x1024 its rather hard to read and SaX2 does not work. Where can I directly edit this to be 1024x768 until I can pickup a larger monitor? The monitor is Mag Innovision DX500T and working just fine otherwise. BTW where can I doenload one of those inf files for the settings? ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 and powermanagement
by Andreas 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I am sure it is something very obvious, yet I can't seem to find a way to configure the powermanagement in openSUSE 10.3. YaST is missing the power-management module and in KPowersave all options are 'greyed out'. Any pointers? -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] sudo, and useradd
by Dirk Moolman 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

I am trying to setup sudo rights on a specific user (username: test), to use the command: useradd I have not used sudo before, and I played around with /etc/sudoers a bit, but I keep getting the error: useradd -c "JUST A TEST USER" -d /home/test -s /usr/bin/ksh test2 Cannot lock password file: already locked. My sudoers file looks like this currently: /etc/sudoers # create group LIMITEDTRUST with user test as a member User_Alias LIMITEDTRUST=test Cmnd_Alias PROGRAMS=/usr/sbin/useradd,/usr/bin/ksh # members in the group LIMITEDTRUST are allowed to use sudo only with the commands listed in cmnd alias PROGRAMS #LIMITEDTRUST ALL=PROGRAMS, NOPASSWD:PROGRAMS LIMITEDTRUST ALL = ALL I am using Suse SLES9. What do I need to do / change to get user "test" to be able to use "useradd" ?

[opensuse] Bye bye Sue 10.3
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

It was nice playing around with 10.3 but after loosing the use of my CDrom and unable to use my TV card I am back now with 10.2 where everything functions as it should. Have no idea what has changed within the two versions but with my older hardware, a P II I ran into too much troubles with 10.3. I will be back regularly to update 10.3 and see if it has improved enough to get it working on my machine. For now I have at least a working platform. If this is the direction of newer software I see black for older hardware. Lets not give up hope. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I have tried both using the madwifi source in yast, and downloading and compiling my own madwifi. Neither worked for me. I tried compiling again this AM after the suggestion came in, just to make sure I got the latest version. But no change.
